It is harder when at hotel with food choices. Maybe either starter or pud and no breadroll? Or leave food on plate.

I blame my “don’t waste food” upbringing! I ate steak and chips for dinner last night and should have left half the chips but didn’t. Then I had icecream after which I didn’t need. This morning, I had yogurt, a boiled egg and sourdough bread - but then went back for a croissant that wasn’t needed! I’m my own worst enemy I will be more disciplined when we’re self catering. Hope you all hit your daily targets today. |

I can't leave food on plates I also can't say no to "free" food like buffets or treats at work or the odd breakfast cob work buys (which then has to be large 'cos you know) |

👋Hi all. Not sure if I've posted on this thread before. I've put on about 1.5kgs over Christmas with having to reduce my training because of the calf strain. I want to lose it and realise it might be trickier because of being on holiday for a month, although we are going self catering so that might help. To help I'm going to stick to ... - No snacking between meals. - at least 3 alcohol free days a week while away (its usual 4 at home). - walk at least mile a day while on holiday ( in addition to any running I do). I had similar experiences with the no waste attitude in childhood and it is difficult when free food is offered Pix. |

That’s it exactly Pix! Clear your plate and get your money’s worth! Which I suppose is another way of saying “don’t waste money”. Another favourite saying from my youth is “it’s better to waste food by putting it in the bin than by putting it through your body first” which I keep trying to remember when faced with an open buffet. |

I can't throw food! Unless it is off! Leftovers get saved and used and I will eat the "stuff" So at Christmas we get biscuits from work (and KP stuff too but this year is the last for that) I find it VERY hard to just let Mr Pix eat it - I gave loads to Gnome to take home (previous 5 years have been worse as both of use got stuff so one positive from Mr Pix retiring!) |

I must admit, it's easier here cos Mr Ness does all the food shopping. He doesn't buy as much as I might so there are rarely any leftovers. If there are they are frozen for another day.

Oh yes leftovers are normally frozen - this was easy when Mr Pix was on shifts as he could heat stuff or even when I was full time as when I ran home he could get on and eat Now I am about for tea the whole time it's less convenient so I will need to learn to book in better proportions too! or he will (he heats up only though) |
